An instance of this part type contains information about the initialization and environment of a printer or a display device. The layout of this information is application-defined.

[Example: An Office Open XML producer on Windows might store the DEVMODE structure defined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_8nle.asp, while an application on the Mac OS might choose to store the print record defined here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Printing/index.html. end example]

A SpreadsheetML package is permitted to contain at most one Printer Settings part per Chartsheet, Dialogsheet, or Worksheet part, and that part shall be the target of an implicit relationship from a Chartsheet (12.3.2), Dialogsheet (12.3.7), or Worksheet (12.3.24) part. A WordprocessingML package is permitted to contain zero or more Printer Settings parts, one per sectPr element, each a target of an explicit relationship from a Main Document (11.3.10) or Glossary Document (11.3.8) part. A PresentationML package is permitted to contain at most one Printer Settings part, and that part shall be the target of an implicit relationship from a Presentation (13.3.6) part.

[Example: The following SpreadsheetML Worksheet part-relationship item contains a relationship to a Printer Settings part, which is stored in the ZIP item ../printerSettings/printerSettings1.xml:

<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId4"
    Type="http://…/printerSettings"
    Target="../printerSettings/printerSettings1.xml"/>
</Relationships>

where the contents of PrinterSettings1.xml contains the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<PrinterSettings xmlns="…">
  <PrinterSetting name="PropertyName" value="PropertyValue" />
</PrinterSettings>

end example]

A Printer Settings part shall be located within the package containing the relationships part (expressed syntactically, the TargetMode attribute of the Relationship element shall be Internal).

A Printer Settings part shall not have implicit or explicit relationships to any other part defined by ISO/IEC 29500.
